    So delicious. Pasta was amazing. Appetizers so good. Baguette surprisingly a star of the show. Claw tini’s excellent.

    Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend the traffic was nuts. We were a half hour late for our reservation but I called to let them know so it wasn’t an issue. As crazy as it was the staff took very good care of us and worked very well together. The scallops were outstanding!

    Always a welcoming space with attentive, caring staff! Menu has a solid core with seasonal updates that hit the mark. Must do: sunset cocktails on the upper deck.

    Had a wonderful experience celebrating my son’s birthday. Great service, drinks, and food, all the basics with good atmosphere, a rare combinational experience. Only downer was the size of the crabs, but that was expected this early in the season. Will definitely be going back! Thank you!

    Food, service & drinks were incredible! Started with the crab dip, mozzarella log and baked nacho-rizos. Easy for our table to share - good portion sizes and each dish had great flavor. Enjoyed sipping on some of the spring/summer spritzes and a clawtini. Make sure you save room for dessert!

    Server punched in wrong meal for me, but quickly rectified it when she realized her mistake. Also, worked hard to made it up to us. Otherwise, food was delicious and service was prompt. We will be back again!
